Fifty-two percent of Professional Photographers of America members report that wedding photography makes up a portion of their business. With a majority of members engaging in this type of photography, PPA decided it was time to create a master of wedding photography degree targeted at this specialty. Earning the degree enables wedding photographers to improve their skills and knowledge in this unique niche as well as establish credibility with clients.
The degree is awarded to photographers who earn the requisite number of merits in three categories: superior photographic skills demonstrated through excellence in PPA’s International Photographic Competition, advanced education, and service to the industry.
